You might be looking for a solution if you are dealing with hyperpigmentation concerns such as melasma or sunspots. At White Pearl Medical Spa, we are excited to offer glutathione injections as a skin-brightening treatment. Let’s look at how this injectable treats pigmented skin and who the proper candidate is.
Our Licensed Injector describes glutathione as the “master antioxidant.” Glutathione is a naturally occurring molecule found in every cell of the human body and plays an essential role in protecting the cells from damage caused by free radicals.
Glutathione is unique. Essentially, it works by inhibiting the production of tyrosinase, an enzyme that triggers melanin production. By reducing the amount of melanin produced, glutathione brightens and evens the skin tone. It also neutralizes free radicals that can contribute to hyperpigmentation.
Our White Pearl Medical Spa team evaluates patients during an initial consultation appointment to discuss their specific goals and desires. Then, we can determine if a patient is a proper candidate for glutathione injections. The best candidates for this treatment are adult patients with good overall health and wellness and realistic expectations for the results.
Glutathione injections are particularly beneficial for individuals with uneven skin tone, dark or sun spots, and hyperpigmentation caused by sun exposure, aging, or hormonal changes. It is also suitable for those with mild to moderate acne scars and acne in general.
At White Pearl Medical Spa, our experienced clinicians conduct a medical assessment and, if appropriate, will administer glutathione injections directly into the bloodstream for systemic absorption and improvement everywhere. The process is quick and virtually painless, with minimal discomfort reported by most patients.
After the injection, you might spot some mild redness or swelling at the injection site, though this should subside within a few hours. It is also recommended that patients be aware and avoid touching or rubbing the area after treatment.
